So, have you actually taken the CT for a test ride?? I'm in the Seattle area and we are not even able to touch it....

Hello, folks. I'm on my second Model X (a 2018 100 d and my newer 2022 X refresh - mit der yoke). Saw a CT in California while we were charging the Blue Bat and was so impressed that I ordered one. The CT, not another X. There was a 'waiting room' for folks who had ordered a new...

Hi, all. I saw a CyberTruck in Dunningan, CA in early January. The Tesla engineer was out doing some off-roading. Liked what I saw and placed an order on 12th January for the two motor option. Went over to the Bellevue, WA dealership to get a closer look at it, but could not even touch it...

The ease of entry is precisely why I bought my first X.

Hi. You might want to delay the relicensing. I paid for mine (Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce) and the licensing rep told me to not put the tab on the car because I could get a complete refund. Paid for license plates at Tesla...

Someone mentioned experiencing a rattle or vibration coming from the instrument cluster area. My XLR (picked up June 4th) occasionally has a minor rattle/vibration in that area. I listen to my cars and this kind of thing really gets to me. It's not consistent though. More random than...

Hi. My old one was a 2018 X 100d six seater. Had WeatherTech mats all around. Now have an XLR Refresh. The rear and center mats fit OK. The front mats not so much. Got some new WeatherTechs and am having issues with the drivers side - part of the mat bows in towards the accelerator. They...

My younger son bought a Volvo eCar. I pulled some 6 gauge THHN from a 50 amp breaker. Not difficult. However, Volvo uses a fairly thick charging cable and it will go was high as 48 amps (though not on the 50 amp circuit). Went over there one day and plugged my old XLR into the system and it...

Hi - kept my 240 volt adapter. Got the rest of the mobile charger delivered with the car (June 4th).

Hi// Mine did. Had a 2018 XLR 100d with six seats. Bought some WeatherTechs for front, rear, and middle. Saved my bacon more than once. Anyway, now have an XLR Refresh. Tried all of the mats from the old Blue Bat and the rear and centers fit fine. Front - not so much. Bob

Hi -- found that the rear and center WeatherTechs from my 2018 XLR 6 seater worked fine. Not the front mats. I have to go to the service center in SODO on Tuesday so I'll just leave them there. Also, found that the new driver side mat from WeatherTech is not fitting properly. It cups right...

Hi. Have used the mobile charger pretty much exclusively since I bought my 2018 XLR. Using it again on the Refresh. Have a 240 volt 50 amp circuit in the garage. Put the receptacle fairly close to the garage floor and the cable was bent at a 180 degree angle because the adapter body...

Feel for you folks. My older son lives in London - he was going to order a new X Plaid. This was last calendar year. For some reason he wimped out and bought a 2019 XLR. Said he could not get his arms wrapped around the yoke. Whatever.... It was a long wait for me in Seattle but I have to...

Hi - traded in a 2018 XLR 6 seater and kept my WeatherTech mats. The front mats did not fit well on the new XLR 6 seater; however, the rear and center mats did. So I kept those and bought new WeatherTechs for the front. I am having an issue with the driver's side mat - it is cupping inward by...

Well, I turned that off. For me - forget the magic. It's nice, but there were a few occasions when the door was almost sheared off.... I'm OK with walking up to the machine and having it unlock. I can do some things for myself.... A shout out. I was having some issues with the sensor on...

Darn - that's a good looking machine! Envious that I picked black rather than cream. Enjoy....

Funny. Well, maybe not. I really want the horn back to the center of the wheel/yoke. Honestly. So, now I'm thinking about how much I use the horn. Not that much. However, when I want to use the horn I don't want to search around my F---ing yoke to find the horn icon. I really don't. I've...

So, if the matrix headlights are on the Refreshed S, why are they not on the Refreshed X?

Hey -- I'm in the Seattle area. Picked the car up on June 4th in Renton and just got my plates today. What - six weeks??

Yup - it is 240 volts. And I love it. I get 6% per hour while charging. Fine for me as I can charge overnight. And, at $0.10 per kWh for electricity, it's chump change. And, honestly, I really have no idea what gasoline costs. Don't care either. Guess I'm a bit of a snob. My younger son...

Uhhhhh. RADAR is actually fairly good at picking up these things. It depends on the frequency of the RADAR. The higher frequencies, like X band, are pretty darn good at 'finding' smaller objects. That's why the military uses X Band RADARs for their gun control stuff (APG....). Don't...

The mobile charger is my primary charging solution. I have a charging station in my rental's garage. 240 volt/50 amp. It'll give me 32 amps. 6% charge per hour. If I plug the car in when I get home it's ready the next morning. Suppose I could figure out a higher amp solution but am asking...

Regarding the FOB. My refresh XLR came with two (picked up on June 4th). Happen to like it. However, I also like the charging stations in the center console. So much so that I have inadvertently left the phone on the charger when I departed the car. Several times. I did not realize that as...

Hi, folks. Regarding floor mats. Traded in my 2018 XLR six seater - it had WeatherTech mats in front, middle, and trunk. Hardly used the frunk, so no mats. Tried to use the old mats on the new Refresh (XLR Six Seater). Front mats did not fit at all. Middle and trunk fit perfectly. So...

Why???

Hi. The reboot fixes the GPS problem until I get back into a location that obscures the satellites. The time on the ferries is about a half hour. Maybe the time the module can't see the satellites has something too do with it. Honestly don't know.

Hi - I'm having some issues with GPS also. It becomes a problem when the satellites have been obscured for a while - mostly while I'm on the ferry to Seattle. The GPS places me in the ferry terminal at the starting point and shows me to be in Puget Sound. I believe it's the LTE module. I can...

RE: the EAP: in 2018. Thanks for the comeback. That's the identical car to mine - and the identical delivery month. I'll probably pull the trigger and order the EAP.

For those of you picking up in Renton, WA - there's a parking lot just across the street from the delivery center. Went over there and drove around in a few circles to come up to speed on the yoke. Just took a few minutes... And - for the EAP. It was included on my 2018 XLR. I really...

Go for it -- make sure you post pix...

Renton?? Picked mine up there - was very satisfied with them.

Yup - probably was me. I take it out from time to time....When I got my X in 2018 I thought it was sorta unique. Now it seems as though there are a lot of blue Xs. A family from Alaska was lost and ended up in front of my place. Same color as mine. Stopped for a chat. They had a five...

Hey - that's not too shabby. What year? Configuration?? Really like that in WA you only pay sales tax on the delta between the sales price and the trade in. Again - I'm a happy camper.

Probably posted this before, but I had a 2018 Blue/Black XLR 100d. Got a really good trade-in offer from Tesla - like 76k. Grabbed it. Maybe it was timing, but I'm a happy camper. Just took the pix, posted them, and waited. Now have my new XLR. Not happy - ecstatic !!!!!

darn - that's a beautiful machine. Enjoy......

Picked up my new XLR on June 4th. I went in to the office a week before and placed my eyeballs on the mobile charger pack. It does not include the 240 volt adapter. So I just kept my old one and gave them the old cable and 120 volt adapter. No issues. I use the trailer hitch receiver a lot...

Hi I had some Weathertechs in my 2018 X and kept them because there's not much available out there. I got a six seater. The mat for the rear area works fine as does the one for the center seats. But - the ones for the front seats are not ready for prime time. Ordered some new ones from...

Thanks - will try. Just opt that I do not have to do that on a regular basis.

And regarding the S versus the X for ease of entry. When I was purchasing my Tesla in 2018 I initially wanted an S. The sales rep opened the door and ushered me into the S. Honestly, it hurt my back trying to get into that car. Really. I told him - NO. He said I had to look at the X. I...

So, I'm going to wax poetic for a bit. This has to do with customer service. I have theory that some customer service folks do internships at Customer Service booths in the Paris Metro. Those of you who have been there know of what I speak. You walk up to the service desk, speak very slowly...

Thank you for that. I intend to stay on top of this. Know enough about cellular/GPS to ensure that no smoke will break blown ... you know...

Revisiting the USB soap opera. Car is XLR Refresh. I picked it up on June 4th. Noticed that the USB sticks had some weirdness. Using the glove box port: when a stick without the TeslaCam folder is inserted the display picks up the USB stick. However, when the TeslaCam folder is installed...

Ahhh - mannn. You missed the point. I wasn't trying to compare the Model X's yoke to that of an airplane, I was trying to say that things evolve. That full circle wheel on older aircraft proved unnecessary. So someone decided to change to a yoke. Made more sense. Things change. And I'll...

Can't believe they included the tire repair kit. You're lucky....

Traded my 2018 XLR 100d in for my new X. Did this a week ago. Very happy with the offer - $77k.

Recently saw a PBS show that dealt with Juan Trippe and TWA. In the late 1930s TWA flew from Alameda in San Francisco Bay to China. They flew the China Clipper over the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate, both then under construction. The films were amazing. Anyway, at that time the airplane's...

Don't know if you're close to the delivery office. However, if you are, I'd go in and have a chat with the manager. I went in to mine and they hopped on their laptops and told me the car was enroute from CA on a car carrier. I asked if the delivery date would hold and the manager said...

Hey.. Rude is as rude does. I picked mine up in Renton, WA last Saturday. The manager was there. Gave her my package of paperwork. She knew my name. Probably checked the appointment list, but at least she did. Told me where the car was and to take as much time as I needed to check it out...

OK - now for another WTF? I've been grousing about the USB sticks in the new XLR not appearing on the display. Believe me when I tell you I've tried just about everything. So this morning I decided to try something off the wall. I have some smaller USB sticks that I got from Office Max...

Hi - for superchargers in the Seattle area - basically $0.40 per kWh. I've driven north to the border and down to the SF area and they're all about the same. For a 100 kWh battery (like my old XLR) you're talking about forty bucks per fill (100 X $0.40). If that gets you, say, 275 miles and...
